Welcome to COMD 2300 E098 Communication Design 1
I will be your instructor for this semester. A little about myself: I’m a City Tech Communication Design Alum. I graduated from City Tech Cum Laude in 2016; I also have my Master’s Degree in Branding and integrated communication from the City College of New York. I’m a first-generation college graduate and Born and raised New Yorker of Middle Eastern and Hispanic descent. During the day, I’m a Senior Art Director at Edelman (The world’s largest public relations firm).
I’m excited to introduce you to the world of advertising and graphic design, where you will develop foundational skills and conceptual thinking to create innovative solutions for real-world business problems.
